Join the conversation at the #EUatCOP28 side events to discuss the climate emergency.

Ocean plays a significant role for the climate but the role has not been recognised until recently with the IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and the Cryosphere, the Blue COP and the Ocean and Climate Dialogues.
Humans impact the ocean in a multitude of different ways and ocean change is taking place parallel to climate change. To manage the human activities, to achieve a healthy ocean and ocean sustainability in line with the SDG14 and other SDGs, scientific knowledge of the ocean needs to be efficiently transmitted to policy making and society. There exists no similar ocean related science-policy interface for the ocean as there is for the climate (IPCC) or for the biodiversity (IPBES). Therefore, the European Union (EU) encourages creating an improved science-policy interface for the ocean, building on and working with existing organisations, an Intergovernmental Panel for Ocean Sustainability (IPOS). Such a Panel would enhance communication of knowledge on the ocean to support implementation of SDG14 and other relevant SDGs.
